Carnival Cruise

Carnival Cruise Line provided a fleet plan on Thursday that provides details on the status of its cruise ships during the current global cruise shutdown.

New ship

Carnival began the update with some good news, informing the public it will take delivery of a new unnamed Excel-class ship in November 2022.

Carnival Cruise Line released new construction photos that showcase the progress being made on the cruise line's next new cruise ship.

Mardi Gras is under construction at the Meyer Turku shipyard in Turku, Finland.

The new ship is scheduled to debut in February 2021 (she was delayed from November 2020).

Carnival Cruise Line announced on Friday thanks to the assistance of many Caribbean and Latin American countries, the cruise line has lass than 400 crew members remaining on board awaiting repatriation.

Carnival has repatriated more than 26,000 crew members across the world.

Carnival Corporation provided a business update to investors, which outlines its plan to sell off 13 cruise ships quicker, while delaying new ship arrivals into the fleet.

Instead of selling off ships over the next few years, Carnival will accelerate the removal of ships in fiscal 2020.

Nobody wants to spend a hard-earned cruise vacation wishing they had chosen a different line.

If you're deciding between Norwegian vs. Carnival cruises, you won't want to make a decision until you've properly compared the two lines in some of the most important areas -- cabins, dining, entertainment and, of course, price.

Carnival Cruise Line announced late Monday night new cancellations that affect select cruise ships, including the upcoming Mardi Gras ship.

The brand new Mardi Gras will see her debut delayed by a few months, as her sailings between November 14, 2020 - January 30, 2021 are cancelled.  

Mardi Gras is not only Carnival's next new cruise ship, she will be the first LNG-powered ship to operate in the Western Hemisphere and featuring the first roller coaster at sea.

A cruise line's vibe can make or break your experience, which is why it's so important to pick the line (and ship) that's right for you.

Wall Street analyst Chris Woronka of Deutsche Bank wrote a note that predicts in the long run cruise lines will recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, but it will take many years to accomplish.

While he does not see the cruise line stocks of Carnival, Norwegian or Royal Caribbean being low enough to buy right now, in the long term Woronka sees these stocks recovering after getting torpedoed by the COVID-19 panic.

During Carnival Corporation's second quarter earnings results, the cruise giant announced it plans to transfer at least six ships out of its fleets over the next 90 days, although did not specify which ships they would be.

Carnival announced a a net loss of $4.4 billion and revenues of just $0.7 billion during its second quarter. With those dire numbers, ditching vessels is one of the cost-cutting moves it intends to do.
